Trump announces decision to "withdraw" from Iran nuclear deal

President Trump rolled out his much-anticipated decision to "withdraw" from the Iran nuclear deal, in keeping with a longtime campaign promise. The president claimed Tuesday that there is Israeli intelligence proving Iran is not in compliance with the agreement.

Mr. Trump said he fears the 2015 deal will allow the Iranian regime to amass nuclear weapons.

"Therefore, I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal."
